Why the Vatican doesn’t think we’ll ever meet an alien Jesus
Funes has said for years that there’s no conflict between the possibility of alien life — even intelligent life — and the teachings of the Catholic Church. “Just as there is a multiplicity of creatures on Earth, there can be other beings, even intelligent, created by God,” Funes said in 2008. “This is not in contrast with our faith because we can’t put limits on God’s creative freedom.”
“To say it as St. Francis [of Assisi], if we consider some earthly creatures as ‘brother’ and ‘sister,’ why couldn’t we also talk of an ‘extraterrestrial brother’? He would also belong to creation,” he said.
Funes also spoke to the AFP about what discovery of alien life would mean for the church’s overall understanding of God’s covenants with human beings.
“The discovery of intelligent life does not mean there’s another Jesus,” he said. “The incarnation of the son of God is a unique event in the history of humanity, of the universe.”

Funes was doing fine right up until that last quote. Then he once again revealed what a small minded archaic geo-centric obsolete religion Christianity is.
